Prayer Poem by Tea Kawana

It's in your place
I find solace,
It's in your presence,
I find rest.

When in that moment,
the world is shut away
from me.
In this serenity,
I feel whole,
satisfied;
for in You there is but sufficiency.
You do not lack in what the world does.

In your presence,
In my tears and laughter,
In my emptiness,
I cling onto You,
For I know You are there,
You said You would never
leave me.
And Your promises are not
like the world's; that
change.
But You are unchanging,
Faithful and Love.

I keep my trust in You.
